Co-Author : Tarja Kettunen Abstract This report presents the result of a study to explore ways of progressing towards ‘enhanced’ air traffic management (ATM) flight efficiency indicators. The indicators will allow the performance of the environment related efficiency of the ATM system to be monitored and to generate meaningful environmental impact assessments through continuous monitoring [...]
Paris, 18/11/2005: Co-Author : Ian Crook Abstract: This study investigates the potential environmental impact of several ATM options to guide air traffic around, above and below airspace volumes of cold and moist air likely to produce contrails. Full report on request to sandrine@isa-software.com
Co-Author : Claire Leleu Abstract This report describes a complexity study performed on all the Maastricht UAC sectors. Particular focus was put on the Brussels sectors in the vicinity of the REMBA navaid to assess if airspace changes made in May, 2004, resulted in a reduction of complexity. The study was conducted over two separate [...]
The 10th World Conference on Transport Research, held in Istanbul in early July, accepted two papers from ISA staff member Ayce Celikel. The topics presented were 'Environmentally Sustainable Airport Operations for Europe' and 'Airport Local Air Quality Studies'. Find more information at WCTR.
Airservices Australia attended a RAMS Plus training in Paris and has acquired two RAMS Plus licenses to complement their ATM services for world-wide clients.
ISA Software has announced that the next release of RAMS Plus - Version 5.0 will be the first release containing combined airspace and surface movement. The new features allow modelling of the surface movement using statistical taxi distributions for any airline at any airport as well as the first release of taxiway and gate simulation, [...]
AGENCE POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE LA NAVIGATION AÉRIENNE EN AFRIQUE ET À MADAGASCAR' - ASECNA has acquired 3 licenses of RAMS Plus to support their airspace planning and analysis team in Dakar, Senegal.
Co-Author : Claire Leleu Abstract The PRU initiated a study to investigate the difference in cost-effectiveness and productivity between US and European en-route centres and determine if this difference could be attributed to distinctions in complexity. This report supports the PRU study by describing and comparing US and European air traffic control centres in relation [...]
